"What did my brother say?"

"He asks you to settle in and enjoy yourself. He will come and see you later." The agent explained, but Helena could have none of it.

Ever since the death of mother, she had barely ever seen her brother for more than a few hours before he would vanish again. Attempts were made on her own life because of Adrian and yet she did not know the reason. Uncle George kept saying that it was hard and complicated and that Adrian would explain it to her later, but when was later? She needed her answers now.

"How can I enjoy myself when I don't know what's even going on around me?" She was distressed. Just a few days ago, strange pictures were leaked into the internet and her brother was with Lyana Rodriguez, a woman whose family had destroyed theirs. A woman whose father had killed her mother if Uncle George was saying the truth. Then he took it a thousand steps further and announced to the entire world how he was in a relationship with Lyana and even showered her with

    The room was dark and awry, bleeding with the reekiness of sin and torture. When the door opened, a reverberating stir echoed through the space. It was followed by a restrained grunt, heavy and grim in its yearn for survival.Footsteps approached the grunt. It belonged to a shadow trapped in this mist. The shadow shook and heaved, there was another grunt. Yet the footsteps maintained nothing but calm and slow, a step at a time till the shadow hanged right in front of his steps.Light came into the room from all directions. Ricardo Rodriguez found his seat in front of the hanging body, a body blindfolded and a mouth gagged. A body although unable to speak, begged loudly for mercy."Get it off his mouth." As Ricardo commanded, the men behind him approached the tortured man. They dragged the gag away from his mouth and the first words he spoke were weak but full of death and want of life. He pleaded for mercy."Please, young master. Forgive me." He begged and begged, but begging rarely e

    The officers led Adrian Blood into the secure complex. The moment he appeared before the police chief, walking through the door, the old man dropped to his feet in salute. "Welcome, Mr Blood. It is really a pleasure."Adrian was not entirely sure he was in the right place. These officers had been so good to him. This was probably because they knew about his trending stories and his relationship with Lyana Rodriguez, but he didn't expect that even the police chief would be caught in that same web of intimidation."It is not all the time that we get to meet an highly famous personelle like yourself, please have a seat." The old man offered his own chair, stepping aside with immediate urgency. Checking around the office, Adrian Blood started to see that this station was not a high power station. The quality of the building, the aesthetics of it, it was nothing good enough for the extravagant security forces of Ravendale. This place was an outcast of stations, filled with lower men of t

    As Lyana stepped in front of the door, James Halton called back for the last time."The chairman is not happy right now. You should apologize to him."She did not respond with a word, just a nod of her head. A nod that did not do enough to convince James Halton."I am begging you, young mistress. Whatever Mr Blood has told you, I implore you to be wise. Your family has enemies everywhere, we don't even who this Adrian Blood really is..."There she didn't keep quiet further. "Adrian Blood is my man. So anything you say about him, you are saying about me. I implore you to be wise, James. Else I will have to release you from my personal service. Maybe you can help protect the family better that way, afterall Adrian does all of your job these days."James Halton had no response to that. Lyana smiled, exactly what she thought. James Halton might think he was the smartest man in the world, but she was confident that Adrian would outsmart him and every other man. Adrian was the perfect man,

    As Lyana walked away from her father's study, she heard voices in another part of the house. They were laughing and giggling."I saw the pictures. I could not believe my eyes.""Yes it is such a shame especially coming from such a respectable home. How is your husband coping with this discomfort, chairlady?""How else would he cope? He would surely want to defend his blood daughter. Men are very foolish at times. They tend to have blind love for stupid girls while forgetting the real ones who are actually in custody of their lives. The chairlady is such a patient woman."The voices of women, Lyana recognized. Those voices were not strange noise to her ears. They were voices she had been forced to get used to hearing ever since she was a girl. Before the death of mother, this home was a haven of peace and happiness for her. But after her mother left her in this terrible world and her father brought home that terrible woman, it had become totally different. Melissa Rodriguez was a woma

    Ricardo Rodriguez was surprised to see Luther Astana again so soon. After their previous encounter, he had expected that Luther would continue his revenge mission on his own. But here he was, standing right in his beer room, staring at him in unspoken words."Say what you want, Luther. We can't stay here forever."Silence had loomed between them for a while. When Luther entered, he had asked for everyone else to leave. The maid servants and the guards. The bar was empty now, and it was a private bar owned by Ricardo himself. There was nobody else apart from the two of them."What are you planning to do?" Luther asked rather compulsively. He was obviously forcing himself to be calm, but inside his mind was in war and chaos. "I know you are doing something. Tell me what it is.""My plans do not concern you. Do not worry, dear friend. Everything is in control and underway. Very soon, the results will reveal themselves.""What will you do to Adrian Blood?"Ricardo poured a bottle of Henne

    When Luther Astana stepped out of the bar, he was well drenched in the stench of alcohol. As he walked forward, he saw a black gown roll past ahead from one end of the mansion to another, it was accompanied by several servants.His mind working in unravelled ways, it decided for him that it was best to meet with Lyana Rodriguez. He should check on her, and he should let her know that she belonged to him. No matter who she agreed to go out, she still belonged to him.He followed them, the black flowing gown and the group of slaves. As he came closer, he called her loudly."Lyana. Lyana. Lyana."Lyana Rodriguez was startled by the sudden recitation of her name. When she turned around and found Luther Astana stumbling towards her, she was even more suprised."Luther? What do you want?""Isn't that a little harsh for the man who is supposed to be your husband."Where had he been? Lyana wondered, he didn't know about the cancelment?"Not anymore." She said. "Lucky you. You got what you hav

    "Chairman Rodriguez has called for a meeting of the inner circle. I wonder what he has to say."Associate Murray broke bread in his home with two other associates whom he had invited in addition to his special guest of honour, Martin Astana.One of the two associates was the first to suggest. "Maybe he wants to make a big announcement. Who knows? Chairman Rodriguez is a very smart man. Perhaps he has the answers to all our questions already, I mean about the person who unlocked the Salpinx."The others weighed his words, but Martin Astana was quick to dismiss it. "If that was the case, then I believe I would be aware by now. No. I think there is another reason."Associate Murray spoke next. "What if he is planning a conspiracy against you, Chairman Astana? What if Chairman Rodriguez wants to turn everyone against you because you didn't allow his bitch of a daughter to marry your son?"The remaining two associates considered Murray's words. "That is really true. Remember he caused such

    Adrian Blood was just leaving the police station. According to what the officers have told him, he was going to be trialed in court. For some reason, they said, Teresa Williams was absolutely agonised, worse even than when she came to them, and she really wanted justice. Officer Micheal had shown up in the nick of time, raging terribly. He had come all the way from his own unit, he was as angry as a terminator when he found out that Adrian Blood was arrested by the lowest police station in town."We are lucky there was no one who saw you get arrested." Micheal said. "It would have been another catastrophe on the media news. You have been the talk of the town for the past few weeks, and it is getting me concerned."They were just walking out of the station itself. Micheal boiled with rage. He hated himself for not getting here earlier to force his release. Officer Micheal remembered what happened many years ago. How he could not protect a dear friend, and how that had led to his deat

    "You lowlife! Get your hands off me!" Melissa Rodriguez demanded in fury."How dare you lay your hands on the chairwoman?!" Lady Murray was screaming in anger."How dare the chairwoman lay her hands on Lyana?" Adrian Blood asked calmly. Then the calm dissolved away. "No one lays a hand on my girlfriend. Ever." He was domineering and strong. His eyes held a cold warning that the chairwoman could not ignore."How... how dare you..." She stuttered. Her voice was running low, less and less firm than it used to be. Adrian Blood possessed an energy of dominance, demonlike in nature. Not anyone could resist that.When he let go, the entire place was as silent as suspense. Lady Murray breathed in exasperation. The maids all looked down in fear, afraid the chairwoman would catch their happy faces. Julia wore suprise and awe, but nothing like resentment. And Lyana was most honoured by this presentation.Finally, the chairwoman got a grip of herself again. She backed away slowly, and all her loy

    Lyana looked sparkling pretty in her flowing dress. She wore that marvellous smile of happiness as she approached Adrian. "Did the meeting go well?" She asked in concern. Adrian Blood smiled. "Very well." He turned back towards the slightly open door. "What is going on in there?""My stepmother is choosing her new maids. She changes her maids every month." Lyana Rodriguez did not seem happy talking about Melissa Rodriguez. Aristocrats in Ravendale were known for their nature of self superiority, but nobody was as superior as Melissa Rodriguez. She believed that nobody had the right to serve her for more than a month. She thought she was so special. A big suprise how old Julia had managed to remain with her for so long. Although the truth was that old Julia never belonged to Melissa, she belonged to Lyana's mother. Melissa only stole her, just like she stole every other thing that belonged to Lyana's mom."Have I ever asked you, how did your mother die?"The smile of happiness, which

    As soon as Adrian Blood stepped out of the meeting, he started thinking of a hundred ways to complete his mission. To expose the CEO's identity would mean to expose himself. Of course, there was no way he would do that. He still had a lot of things to gain from this secret identity. Besides, he was not going to put Uncle George and his sister, Helena in danger.Speaking of Helena, earlier, when Federico made the request for Adrian to track down Hans Zimmer and Adrian accepted, Adrian also made his own request to the chairman."What is it this time? I already gave you my daughter." Chairman Rodriguez had said."There is a particular boy, one who has offended me a great deal." Adrian had stated.Ricardo Rodriguez had smirked. "What is it? You have all the money in the world now, Adrian. You can't take care of a little boy?""Of course I can, but not when the boy is under the protection of this noble family." Adrian's gaze has shifted upon James Halton, making everyone to turn in the sam

    In the separate room, only four men were present. Federico Rodriguez sat at the other end of the table, facing his new acquaintance, Adrian Blood. On his right side was his son, Ricardo. James Halton stood on the other side."What is it you want to discuss so much, Mr Blood? We were having a nice celebration, you know." Federico Rodriguez broke the long silence, staring straight into Adrian Blood's eyes.The celebration was for Lyana and the ladies who loved to indulge in parties. The men took no part in it, only false pretences when they bore hate in their hearts. Adrian knew this, James Halton always gave him the side eyes, Ricardo Rodriguez was full of fake smiles. Of course, they were only here for a main reason, why not just focus on that point. Adrian Blood looked at the three men. He scanned their faces. He did not expect it to be this easy to gain their acknowledgement. What if they had found out his identity? He needed to know that this was not a trap for him. He needed to c

    Teresa still remained on one spot, now on her knees, shivering in tears and shaking her head. So many regrets that she just had right now. So many things that would be going through her mind. Why did she do it? She should have apologized to Adrian. She should not have tried to set him up. More than regret, her mind was filled with vengeance."So you posted her nudes for the entire world to see, you are such an unpredictable fellow. I must have underestimated you, Adrian Blood." Luther Astana said.Lyana ignored all the stares and held Adrian by the hand. She was certain now that Adrian Blood would never betray her. If he was a cheater like Luther Astana, then he would have cheated on her with Teresa Williams and nothing like this would have happened."Thank you, Adrian." She held him with love and care, staring in his eyes. "I am sorry that I ever doubted you. It will never happen again." She promised."What are you saying, Lyana?

Her only purpose was for revenge against Trevor Steele, nothing more. Adrian Blood was ready to let her go."Please, Adrian... just one chance..." she brings her lips closer for the final, threatening to actually kiss him this time. Lyana Rodriguez was red on the face where she stood, ready to rain down hell."Now get off me." Adrian said, finally tired of this rubbish. Following the statement, he pulled himself away from the chair, forcing Bethany Lawrence to quickly hold on to something. Before she could find a strong support, she was landing flat on the floor, half naked. "Wooo... what just happened now?"
